Danmachi: Westward C [Vol.4] Quest 364- New Grandson

[Vol.4] Quest 364- New GrandsonMorning at the Hestia Familia ho, the Hearth Manor.

Bell wakes up with Ais still in bed.

"Ais…"

Bell's voice said everything he wanted to say to her.

"Yes…" She said softly.

"Alright. There will be food if you want any."

Bell gets up and gets ready for the day.

Ais was still getting over Cirrus’s death and wondering what to do next after the death of the Black Dragon. To her, Cirrus was the only person she could relate to with the shared pain of losing their mothers to the Black Dragon.

"… Cirrus."

She still acted the sa, but sothing was missing behind her eyes—a sense of motivation and purpose.

Since that day, she hasn’t touched the sword once.

"Is there anything you would like for breakfast?" said Haruhi, hanging over Ais.

Ais looked up to see Haruhi with a soft, concerned look.

"…Sothing light."

"Hm. Better get up before Vento wakes up."

"Hm."

The morning was the sa. Everyone got together for breakfast except for the guest.

"Hm! Hm! This is really good!" tis said, stuffing her face. "Hestia, your ho is truly wonderful! Good food! Good service!"

"It’s not a restaurant or so hotel, tis!!" Hestia shouted. "Why couldn’t you be the sa you back in Heaven? I am running myself ragged because of you!"

tis has been staying with Hestia. It was not until Artemis and the others returned to Orario that Hestia knew she was hosting tis. It was even her demand that made Hestia work herself so hard.

"Because I was crushed by a nonstop flow of souls with so few gods to help with the load, and I see this as a vacation!"

"Grr… Pass the syrup—?!" Hestia froze up, and tis stopped. "T-this feeling!" Hestia quickly runs.

"Hestia?" said Bell.

"Damn, she got here quick," tis said, recognizing this feeling on her skin.

They all went after her to find her opening the front door.

"Hello, Hestia." Said Hera, looking at Hestia with fierceness in her ruby eyes.

"H-H-Hera!?!? W-w-why are you here!"

Hestia was sweating bullets.

"I ca to talk with tis. Hers said she was here, so is she…" She looks behind Hestia and locks eyes with Bell.

"Gulp!"

The words of Cirrus, Malion, and Zeus all make sense now.

Her eyes locked onto him like those of a dying man in the desert who just found water.

"Move." She pushed Hestia to the side.

"Hey!"

She walked straight up to Bell and grabbed his face.

Grab!

"Gah!" Bell said.

Her grip was tight and strong.
